To celebrate our country’s birthday, I made traditional American favorites. Fajitas, peppers, rice, black beans, and fresh guacamole. We’re going out to Lakewood later to lick gelato while we watch the fireworks.

My daughter and I rode our bikes in the neighborhood parade as part of her school’s contingent. The newly elected mayor was there, along with these two very serious looking gentleman sweating their asses off while their boss was in cargo shorts and a t-shirt. Must have been prepping for a secret service interview. Yes, those are ear pieces.

There were a few cool cars in the parade. My favorite was this lovely Eldorado ridde n by the Trash Queens of White Rock. Their outfits were impressive, especially the tiara made from water bottles.

Happy fourth to you and your family.

I’ll sit here and enjoy burgers I just made and cupcakes from Publix.

Yum! Happy 4th of July!

We had a more traditional feast of Chinese food. Kung pao chicken and other American favorites.

That’s a fine looking burger. Publix is a good store. We don’t have them here.

Whenever we go out to eat for Chinese with my in-laws, they order for the table. And they always get kung pao for me - no one else eats it.

It’s so nice that you have them trained that way.

I actually hate having others order for me, but it’s their culture so I tolerate it.
